Recap: Final day of the Masters
I entered with major exposure to DeChambeau and Conners, both in the final pairings.
I’d whittled down my portfolio over the weekend from T21 coverage to a tight core focused on the leaders. I had also taken profit on McIlroy when his position was priced at 81% of max price yesterday, so I had no exposure to him throughout today.
The day started strong: DeChambeau was holding, McIlroy looked dominant at -14, and prices were moving fast. But golf is chaos.
Rory choked, Bryson fell apart, and I bought back into Rose + Åberg regained relevance unexpectedly. Suddenly it wasn’t a two-horse race.
My plays weren’t about backing the winner—I profited through sharp entries, exits, and rotation among contenders, surfing the volatility.
As things heated up, I bought back into into Rose and Åberg around midday when they came back into contention. Grabbed 35k shares of each as they made their moves.

A few holes later, my portfolio looked sharp—nearly all in the top contenders, strong positioning. Rose’s price ripped, portfolio touched 13M, then slipped to 12M, then 6.3M, and I could feel the shift coming.
Of course, I didn’t sell the top. Most people rarely do time things perfect in such volatile markets.
When it became clear Rory was about to take it or force a playoff, I bailed. Locked in ~4.8M gain.
That brought me to ~18.4M liquid right as it looked like Rory had it clinched. That hilariously was exactly 420 bucks at the $BRACKY rate. Serendipity.
Thought I was done. But when Rory missed his final putt, I pounced.
Bought 50k shares of Rose at 0.82—a desperation moonshot. Total cost? About 4,000 $bracky (9 cents). If Rose pulled it off, I’d walk away with 50M $bracky (~$1k). Wild edge case.
Someone else aped in right after at 114.5 per share for 9.2M $BRACKY. But fate is cruel.
